Self, schedule the next (self-)cleaning cycle of the oven for a day
when the exterior doors can be opened.

The fragrance of January's roast beef is haunting me and I have to
stick around for 3.5 hr until the cycle is complete!

Why do you need to stick around... can't you do something else in the house
that does not necessitate your hanging out in the kitchen? Doesn't the clean
function shut down at the end of its cycle, and then release the door lock
automatically when the oven is sufficiently cool? As for the odor I follow the
instruction in the owner's manual to have the exhaust fan on during the clean
cycle... I found keeping the fan at its lowest setting is sufficient for
extracting the odor before it can disperse throughout the house.

Yes, I can move around the house. But the house is so small that it's
hard to escape "roast beef." I just can't go shopping, etc. until the
cycle is over.

My exhaust fan doesn't work. I am working on getting it
fixed/replaced. But it's an old, round Air King, discontinued in the
70s, and fixing it has stymied several local electricians. The
problem is getting a replacement for the on/off mechanism. I called
the company last week. The fellow who is familiar with the old
products won't be in until next week. Replacing it will be an ordeal
because of the size of the opening in the wall/exterior brick. Plus
most new exhaust fans seem to be rectangular.

Anyway, it only has one speed: "hurricane." :>

Or, turn on the furnace fan and the bathroom ventilation fan.

As for the nurds that say you can leave the stove, don't. That puppy
probably gets so hot that water will sizzle on the surface below the burner
deck.

Thru the wall exhaust fan openings are standard (usually 8" dia.)... you can
probably do the replacement yourself... the cover plates can be round or square
but the fan body and the hole through the wall is always round. First thing
is to order the fan, then find the circuit breaker that controls the fan. Put
it in the off position and remove your fan and place wire nuts on each
individual lead, then energize the circuit and wait for the new fan to
arrive... cover the hole with a piece of cardboard and masking tape. To
install the new fan work in reverse.
